Most of us are aware that a qualified Pag-IBIG member can avail a housing loan when someone is looking to buy a brand new house and lot.  But aside from this, there are various cases or purposes wherein a qualified Pag-IBIG member can avail a housing loan thru the Affordable Housing Program of Pag-IBIG.

• Old or brand new;
• A property mortgaged with the Fund;
• An acquired assed of the Pag-IBIG Fund; or

The subdivision project where said residential units are located must have complied with all the required facilities pursuant to BP No. 220

 

3.) Construction or completion of a residential unit on a residential lot owned by the borrower or a relative of the borrower;

 

4.) Home improvement on the house owned by the borrower, or on a property currently secured under a Contract-to-Sell (CTS), or Deed of Conditional Sale (DCS) between Pag-IBIG Fund and the buyer, i.e. any alteration in an existing residential unit intended by the borrower to be a permanent integral part thereof, which will enhance its durability and material value; or

 

5.) Refinancing of an existing housing loan; provided that, the account is updated and at least one (1) year old upon application as supported by the borrower’s official receipts or by a Statement of Account issued by the creditor signed by the Manager or the account officer.
